i used an angle grinder to shave the rears. and the fronts too lol. just used a cutting wheel instead of the grinding wheel. Cut thru it like a hot knife thru butter.

i wouldnt use it for the whole fender it would take to long. i DID use them for the corners of my fenders but thats all i would use it on as the wheels break to quickly a cutting wheel would work well on the corners but still i wouldnt use them for the whole fenders. i used a belt sander worked out very well. use a 45 or a 50 grit for the fastest results

follow this DIY

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ear-shave.html

for best results and also tape off the areas your gonna cut and use ear/eye/mouth protection/gloves if you wanna but i didnt use them. when i painted the insides i taped most of my rear as my rear bumper has JUST been painted and i didnt wanna get the primer, insulation or the paint on the new bumper

but your cutts are jagged on the inside which probably caused your fender boo boo. my insides of my fenders are smooth
